 lee cox's recommendation | |
Good value for money
Good mechanical brakes( tektro io) 160mm disc
Comfy to ride,
Shimano deore transmission,
Its the forks for me that let the bike down,
Bottom bracket has let me down too
Overall I think the Carrera Banshee bike is good value for money ( I got mine in the sale £365)
The spec from purchase is pretty good too. It does perform quite well no matter what your doing, light dh/free ride/ long xc I think is what the bike is built for and comfort.but defenatly not for dirt jump.
It will soak up light jumping as long as you dont land hard hehe!
The only problems are the forks. The seals on them dont last too mins and before you know it there is OIL EVERYWERE. Also there too soft for my liking. I upgraded to some 04 marzzochi bomber the bike is now compete.
